Mr. Faqeh wrote in a message on X on Wednesday that while countries around the world are leveraging science, technology, and artificial intelligence to improve citizens' lives and create new opportunities for development and prosperity, the Taliban is depriving the people of Afghanistan of the most basic tools for communication and access to information.


He also emphasized that half of Afghanistan's population has been deprived of the right to education, schooling, and employment, and the teaching of sciences and modern skills faces restrictions or bans in many schools and educational centers.


The head of Afghanistan's mission to the United Nations added that fundamental human and Islamic freedoms are being widely violated, and the deliberate deprivation of people from knowledge, awareness, technology, and paths to progress is unjustifiable under any pretext.


According to Faqeh, imposing educational and informational restrictions and steering society toward poverty, ignorance, and isolation not only harms the country's development process but also poses serious threats to the future of Afghanistan's next generations.


This comes as the Taliban group's military court has warned that government employees will face punishment if they use smartphones.


In a leaked document, the court, based on an order from the Taliban's leader, has declared the use of smartphones prohibited for government employees. According to this directive, in case of noncompliance, the smartphones of violators will be confiscated and smashed, and their cases will be referred to the military court.

Nasir Ahmad Faqeh, Afghanistan's representative to the United Nations, in response to the Taliban's decision to ban the use of smartphones in government offices, said that no government will endure through censorship, suppression, and concealment of facts.
